Eksodosy 11

1 Fa Jehovah nilaza tamin’ i Mosesy, hoe: Mbola hahatonga loza iray koa amin’ i Farao sy Egypta Aho; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia handefa anareo hiala atỳ izy; ary rehefa handefa anareo rehetra izy, dia handroaka anareo fatratra hiala atỳ.

Then Yahweh said to Moses, “There is still one more plague that I will bring on Pharaoh and Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here. When he finally lets you go, he will drive you away completely.

2 Koa mitenena amin’ ny olona, ary aoka ny lehilahy samy hangataka firavaka volafotsy sy firavaka volamena amin’ ny namany avy, ary ny vehivavy amin’ ny namany avy koa.

Instruct the people that every man and woman is to ask of his or her neighbor for articles of silver and articles of gold.”

3 Dia nataon’ i Jehovah nahita fitia teo imason’ ny Egyptiana ny olona. Ary Mosesy dia lehilahy malaza indrindra teo amin’ ny tany Egypta, dia teo imason’ ny mpanompon’ i Farao sy teo imason’ ny vahoaka.

Now Yahweh had made the Egyptians eager to please the Israelites. Moreover, the man Moses was very impressive in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and the people of Egypt.

4 Ary hoy Mosesy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Rehefa tokony ho mamatonalina Izaho hivoaka hankeo afovoan’ i Egypta,

Moses said, “Yahweh says this: 'About midnight I will go throughout Egypt.

5 dia ho faty ny lahimatoa rehetra eto amin’ ny tany Egypta, hatramin’ ny matoan’ i Farao izay mipetraka eo ambonin’ ny seza fiandrianany ka hatramin’ ny matoan’ ny ankizivaviny izay eo anilan’ ny fikosoham-bary, ary ny voalohan-teraky ny biby fiompy rehetra.

All the firstborn in the land of Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the handmill grinding it, and to all the firstborn of the cattle.

6 Ary hisy fidradradradrana mafy eran’ ny tany Egypta rehetra, izay tsy mbola nisy tahaka izany, sady tsy hisy tahaka izany intsony.

Then there will be a great wailing throughout all the land of Egypt, such as has never been nor ever will be again.

7 Kanefa tsy hisy na dia alika aza hanetsika ny lela ny amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, na amin’ ny olona, na amin’ ny biby, mba ho fantatrareo ny tsi-fampitovian’ i Jehovah ny Egyptiana sy ny Isiraely.

But not even a dog will bark against any of the people of Israel, against either man or beast. In this way you will know that I am treating the Egyptians and the Israelites differently.'

8 Ary hidina ho ao amiko ireo mpanomponao rehetra ireo dia hiankohoka eo anatrehako ka hanao hoe: Mandehana ianao sy ny olona rehetra izay manaraka anao; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia vao handeha aho. Dia niala teo amin’ i Farao tamin’ ny fahatezerana mirehitra Mosesy.

All these servants of yours, Pharaoh, will come down to me and bow down to me. They will say, 'Go, you and all the people who follow you!' After that I will go out.” Then he went out from Pharaoh in great anger.

9 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Tsy hihaino anareo Farao, mba hitomboan’ ny fahagagana izay hataoko eto amin’ ny tany Egypta.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you. This is so that I will do many amazing things in the land of Egypt.”

10 Ary Mosesy sy Arona nanao ireo fahagagana rehetra ireo teo amin’ i Farao; nefa Jehovah nanamafy ny fon’ i Farao, ka tsy nandefa ny Zanak’ Isiraely hiala tamin’ ny taniny izy.

Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh. But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and Pharaoh did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.
